EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "First Page of Notes Relating to the Common Kestrel: A Glimpse into Samuel Richard Tickell's Indian Ornithological Work, c. 1848" This image showcases the first page of notes from the original watercolor drawings and illustrated manuscript (MS) of Samuel Richard Tickell's work on Indian Birds. The set of volumes from which Tickell's illustrated MS work on Mammals, and other creatures of India, in the Library of the Zoological Society of London was elaborated, dates back to approximately 1848. Tickell (c.1809-1875), a renowned English naturalist, artist, and author, dedicated much of his career to documenting the diverse fauna of India. In this image, we catch a glimpse of his meticulous notes on the Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus), a member of the Falconidae family and the Falconiformes order. The Sauropsida, a group of reptiles and birds, is represented here by the avian subject. Tickell's watercolor drawings and illustrations are a testament to his keen observation skills and artistic talents. The Common Kestrel, also known as the Tinnunculus Alaudarius, is a widely distributed bird of prey found across Europe, Asia, and Africa. This first page of notes provides a fascinating insight into Tickell's ornithological research process. The annotations include details on the bird's physical characteristics, habitat, and behavior, which would have been essential in creating the comprehensive and accurate records that form part of the larger work. The historical significance of this image lies in its contribution to the scientific understanding of Indian birds during the 19th century. Tickell's work played a crucial role in documenting the avian diversity of India and continues to be an invaluable resource for ornithologists and researchers today.
